[comp.graphics] Renderman, modeling, animation

I have a couple of questions for the net.

1.) On what machines are implementations of RenderMan currently available?
    How much does it cost?  I remember reading that it is available on
    the Mac, for I think around $800.  Is anybody besides Pixar 
    doing implementations?

2.) I know there are several good public domain renderers out there, but
    is there any public domain modeling software?  Does Ohio's ApE 
    software provide any geometric modeling capabilities?

3.) Is anybody here doing 3D animation on a personal computer?  What
    software do you use?

I don't have regular access to a newsreader, so please mail me a copy
of any comments you post.  Thanks.

Don
